Right. However, my suspicion would be that whoever makes a change to the
trunk on a satellite shouldn't have to go to the Zope 3 trunk.

Also, maintainers of the Zope 3 tree shouldn't have to read every commit
message to update the reference (doing so would be pointless, that what
not pinning the external is for).

When moving to a release of Zope 3 we should update those externals to
specific revisions or tags though. (Tags being preferred IMHO as we only
want software of at least the same degree of stability, right?)

:)

Thanks, good to hear that. I'll keep on walking ...
